Absolute Regression

Episode 256: Moorim will be nervous.

There were elixirs placed on a long table.

It felt like I was at a store selling elixirs. Each elixir had its own scent, and they mixed together to create a unique scent.

The Poison King was busy mixing medicine on another table next to him.

I looked at the elixirs displayed on the table while waiting for the Poison King to finish his work.

There were some elixirs that I knew about, but most of them were unknown to me. It’s a lot more than I thought.

Eventually, the Poison King finished mixing the medicine and placed it on the table.

“I’m here?”

“What did you do?”

“I mixed things that were more effective when mixed.”

Combining these highly toxic elixirs makes them more effective? This is truly possible because he is a poison king.

“I heard you went to the central field yourself?”

“What if I don’t go out? How do you get these products in 20 days? “For the first time in a long time, I mobilized all of my connections.”

The word ‘connections’ sounded awkward coming from the mouth of a poison king who lives alone in a forest. It will be such a precious and certain relationship. And mobilizing connections means being indebted to someone.

“I am greatly indebted to you.”

The Poison King came in front of me and his eyes sparkled. It was as if he was wondering how he was going to pay back.

“Please call me anytime you need my help.”

“It won’t just happen once or twice.”

“It would be nice to see you often, Poison King.”

The Poison King went to the end of the table, picked up the first elixir, and handed it to me.

“Now, take these in order, first.”

It seems like they even decided on the order in which to take it.

“What happens if I take it all at once?”

“You won’t die because it’s impervious to poison, but you’ll be in chaos inside. “Take whatever is given to you.”

Before eating, I asked the poison king.

“Please tell me how much each of these costs.”

“why? “Don’t you trust me?”

“If I didn’t believe you, I wouldn’t ask.”

It is actually polite to ask this question to someone who would never have cheated.

The Poison King told me the cost of each elixir. When I added up all the amounts.

“You handed over the money I gave you?”

“I didn’t want to miss out on the last elixir, so I added some.”

“It’s not just a moth, it looks like you pulled out a root of a pillar in Cheondokrim.”

“Are you saying you know how many pillars there are in Cheondokgrim? “Hurry up and eat.”

He hated going out so much that he went out himself and even contributed a lot of money. This is why I can’t not like the Poison King.

“Then I will eat it gratefully.”

“The first one is the Black Sheep Dan. “Take it and enjoy your energy.”

The moment I put black sheep in my mouth, I frowned.

“Ugh! I write. “Why are you writing like this?”

“Then it’s poison, so would you like it sweet?”

The medicinal properties of black sheep began to dissolve. Now, I melted it using the nine fire magic technique. Since the amount of internal energy accumulated is large, the amount of medicinal effects absorbed will also be large.

“Next is one poison, one poison. “It is a medicine that goes well with black sheep, so there will be no conflict between bets.”

It was not given to those with the least efficacy. It was given according to the compatibility and properties of each elixir.

“Next, take a bleaching pill.”

I thought things got better in Japan.

“Anyway, this isn’t it. Ugh.”

When he tried to spit out what was in his mouth, the poison king blocked his mouth and prevented him from spitting it out.

I swallowed forcefully and spoke to him.

“Are you taking revenge on me for asking you to buy me an elixir?”

“To fill this power with a delicate and fragrant elixir, you will have to pay several times more.”

It was also a right that only those who could invade Germany could enjoy.

“And the bitter medicine hasn’t even come out yet.”

I jumped up, hugged him, and said goodbye.

“You have to fight well even without strength. “That is a true expert.”

When I tried to run away, the poison king forced me to sit down.

It was half a joke and half real. To add a bit of exaggeration, I felt like my tongue and intestines were melting.

When the elixirs dissolved in the body and their effects spread throughout the body, a new elixir was taken again.

“I knew that would be the case, so I prepared something a little sweeter this time. Drink it.”

Man-Blood Poison Water is the only medicine among them!

After that, I continued to take the elixir.

To the Demonic Goddess, Baekryeong Purification, Hwaseongsan, Cheonggaljeong Blood, Hyeoneumdan, Yin Yang and Two Poisonous Herbs, Heavenly Paradise. …

These were elixirs whose names I had only heard of or whose names I had never even heard of. Some had multiple and some had only one.

This was my first time taking so many different types of elixirs in succession. Not only me, but no one else in Kangho will be there either.

“You can eat all of this, right?”

“I don’t know either. “This is the first time something like this has happened.”

The Poison King looked excited. He must have never seen so much poison dissolved at once. In fact, he was more excited than I was.

Someday, this moment will also be written in the book he compiled. What title will it be?

Correlation between Mandokbulchim and toxic elixir?

no. It would be a title like this.

How did the King of Poison harass Mandobulchim?

Looking at his happy face today, he is a person worthy of a title like this.

It took a long time to take the prepared elixir.

I take it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. The medicinal properties were carefully dissolved. By dissolving the medicine using the Nine Fire Demonic Technique, I was able to absorb a greater amount of the medicinal effect than before.

There were a few times in the middle where I felt like I was going to die because it was so harsh and bitter. Even if it was the same poison, being addicted to that poison and eating that poison were completely different things.

“Now, this is the last Mandokshindan (萬毒神丹).”

This was the medicine that the King of Poison bought with a large amount of money. It was the most powerful poison among the poisons I had ever taken.

Even the medicinal properties of the Mandokshindan were dissolved with the spiritual techniques of Guhwamagong.

The medicinal properties flowed through the blood vessels of the whole body, and then, just as the water in the valley flows into the river and eventually into the sea, the medicinal properties became internal energy and gathered in the danjeon.

Even after taking all the elixirs, I chanted several times to control my internal energy.

Only after confirming that all the medicinal properties had become pure internal energy did I slowly open my eyes. A huge amount of internal energy was added to the danteon.

If it weren’t for the Poison King, I wouldn’t have been able to do even half of this feat with that money. I must have bought good quality medicine at a low price and even the order of taking it was perfect.

Now, I was more confident in my skills than anyone else in Moorim. It wasn’t just that the amount increased. The purity of inner energy has also become incomparably deeper than before. Becoming stronger is also becoming stronger, but it will be a great help in training Sicheon Secret Art.

I could tell by the Poison King’s expression how deep my eyes had become. The next moment, the poison king was even more surprised. Because of the rebuttal, those deep eyes have suddenly become ordinary eyes.

“How strong will you become?”

I answered calmly.

“I will become stronger until I can protect everyone.”

The Poison King spoke to me as I stood up.

“We are protecting you. “The Majon protects Sogyoju.”

I stared at the Poison King and blurted out.

“Poison King.”

For a moment, the Poison King was shocked. Instead of my usual polite demeanor, I displayed a heavy dignity.

“Then become stronger!”

“!”

After saying that, he walked away with great strides.

As soon as I left, I immediately stuck my head in through the open door. The Poison King was still looking at us with a blank expression.

“You’re not angry, are you?”

“Are you already pretending to be the Heavenly Demon?”

“Other than the Poison King, where would you go to play this prank?”

“There’s a lot, right? Soma Doma Chuma!”

I lowered my voice sternly again.

“The person I wanted to play this prank on was the Poison King.”

At the end of the joke, he added sincerity.

“Poison King, I will never forget this favor you received today.”

* * *

For a long time after the sword dance, the Poison King was lost in thought.

“Did you call me?”

To the merchant ship that arrived after receiving the call, the King of Dogs said something unexpected.

“Report to Cheonmajeon that we are doubling the amount of poison in Cheondokrim.”

The merchant ship was surprised. That wasn’t all.

“We are also increasing the intensity of German training. “You also train while teaching the kids.”

“Then Moorim will be nervous.”

In particular, an emergency could occur in the Murim Alliance. Everyone was paying close attention to the poison entering the forest. The collection of highly toxic elixirs this time may also have been reported to the Murim Alliance or the Apostolic Alliance. That’s how sensitive it was to poison.

The Poison King stood up. A black aura like a haze began to bloom around his body. It was a heavenly killing poison released when the Poison King revealed his presence.

The Poison King spoke softly as he was enveloped in black fog.

“Tell me to relax.”

* * *

On the day of the inauguration ceremony of Lord Hwangcheongak, Hwangcheongak investigators and execution officers came to Seo Dae-ryong’s residence to escort him.

In the past, on the day Geommugeuk took office, Seo Dae-ryong visited with his executive dancers, but now the situation has changed. The investigator who came today was Gokmyeong, the most senior special investigator.

“Please go, Lord.”

Since my junior had become a footnote, I thought he must not be in a good mood.

“Investigator Gok, please take good care of me in the future.”

“I will serve you with all my heart.”

“After coming to Hwangcheongak, I learned a lot from my senior. “From now on, I will write about what I learned from my senior.”

Seo Dae-ryong suddenly had this thought when he saw Gok-myeong smiling pleasantly.

‘I wasn’t this kind of person.’

I’m a person who doesn’t make eye contact with the other person very often. I was a person who started with negative thoughts. Even now, even if that person smiles, you’re probably cursing inside, right? I would have thought like this first.

But now I’m trying to convey my sincerity to the other person. I’m trying to understand the other person’s feelings.

When Seo Dae-ryong arrived at Hwangcheongak, escorted by Gok Myeong and execution officers, investigators and execution officers were standing in a line.

“See you, Lord!”

Seo Dae-ryong’s rise to the position of a footnote was an unconventional appointment. Among them, there were some who were secretly displeased, but one thing was the same. Because Seo Dae-ryong worked so hard, everyone recognized his ability.

And at this moment, there was someone who came to give him strength.

“Congratulations, Lord.”

I turned around at the sound of words coming from behind me and saw Demon Lord Jangho walking towards me. Seo Dae-ryong was surprised because he had not expected him to come here.

“My lord! “You came yourself.”

“Of course you should come.”

They were drinking together at a pub when Ian was away.

Now the Demon Lord and the Nether Pillar were standing face to face.

“You know what? I always wanted to be a warrior like General Lord. “That thought still remains the same.”

Jangho grinned with his unique manly smile. When Seo Dae-ryong saw Jang-ho, he always thought that he was like a mountain standing tall. You yourself will definitely become that kind of warrior.

When the demon lord came to congratulate him in person, the investigators and executioners looked surprised.

Then another person appeared there.

Ian came to congratulate him. I felt like the surroundings became brighter with the appearance of this beautiful girl. In addition, as her martial arts skills reached the level of a true expert, the executioners present were amazed by her beauty and were once again amazed by her prayers.

“Congratulations, Lord Hwangcheongak.”

“Thank you for this drone.”

“I knew this day would come.”

Seo Dae-ryong spoke in a whisper at Ian’s words.

“I didn’t know!”

Jangho and Ian laughed together.

At that time, another person arrived there. Seeing this person appear, the investigators and executioners all bowed in unison and showed respect.

“See you, Lord Xiao!”

Seo Dae-ryong and Jang Ho Ian also greeted each other politely.

Geommugeuk walked over and spoke politely.

“Congratulations. Lord Netherland.”

“Thank you, Master So.”

Seo Dae-ryong looked at the sword dance with trembling eyes.

To Seo Dae-ryong, who was in tears and didn’t know what to say, Geommugeuk nodded his head once with eyes full of trust. That was enough.

Gokmyeong came and spoke to Seo Dae-ryong.

“Everyone is gathered here. Let’s say something.”

Seo Dae-ryong stood in front of everyone with a trembling heart. I thought I would say something, so I practiced at home in advance, but I was still very nervous.

“The person who overcame human limitations was the previous Lord, but now a human has finally taken charge of Hwangcheongak.”

Everyone burst out laughing at those words.

“The previous state governor said this here on the day he took office. I don’t know whether we will become happier or unhappy. But one thing is certain. Your heart will beat faster than before. The Lord kept his word. Because my heart is beating faster than before. “I think your heart feels the same way.”

Everyone seemed to sympathize. Because Geommugeuk’s Hwangcheongak was a completely different organization than before. Because they all received the gratitude of countless people who were spared injustice.

“I can’t make my heart beat faster than Master Xiao. Instead, I am confident that I can do this much. “I will do my best to keep our hearts, which have grown warm thanks to Master So, from cooling down.”

Applause and cheers erupted.

As I was about to say hello and go in, the last person who came to congratulate me arrived.

Not only Seo Dae-ryong but also Geommugeuk and Ian Jang-ho were surprised by his appearance.

Surprisingly, the Hyeolcheon Doma appeared. He walked arrogantly carrying the Great Sword of Destruction on his back. The Hwangcheongak warriors were all nervous as they saw him walking with overwhelming force.

“Master!”

Instead of saying congratulations, Hyeolcheondoma pulled out the long sword he had been carrying along with the Great Sword of Destruction on his back. Although it was a large sword, it was slightly smaller than the Myeolcheon Great Sword.

Hyeolcheondoma gave it to Seo Dae-ryong.

“Use this from now on.”

At first glance, it was not an ordinary Tao.

“This is the sword I used when I was young.”

Seo Dae-ryong was surprised. A gift from a blunt master? Moreover, if it was a knife he used when he was young, it was a gift of indescribable value. Seo Dae-ryong was so moved that he felt like crying.

After giving the sword, Hyeolcheondoma walked back without a word.

Seo Dae-ryong bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude to the master who turned around and walked away.

“Thank you, Master.”

Hyeolcheondoma left without looking back.

Investigators and executioners watched this in astonishment. It was said that Geomgeuk could come because he was very close to Seo Dae-ryong and had been around him, but he had no idea that Hyeolcheondoma would come here.

No one ignored Seo Dae-ryong. Even if I wanted to ignore him, I couldn’t ignore him. Xiao Jiaju came, Ma Zhen came, Demon Lord came, and the best in the world came to congratulate him. Who would dare to ignore him?

Seo Dae-ryong politely greeted Geommugeuk and Jangho Ian and then turned around.

He turned around and kicked the long sword on his back like a chopping board.

Then he entered Hwangcheongak accompanied by investigators and executioners.

Geommugeuk saw the back of Hyeolcheondoma as he walked confidently wearing a long sword.
